Singh, 24, faces several charges, including misdemeanor counts of second-degree riot, fourth-degree criminal mischief, resisting
arrest
and second-degree obstruction of governmental administration, and a disorderly conduct violation, according to authorities, who did not describe her suspected role in the incident.

Morris, whose alleged role in the fight also was not released, faces counts of second-degree riot, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, according to police.

Singh and Morris, 25, were both released after posting $100 bail, according to police.
